Nothing says spring like baseball. Inspired by the high drama of this year’s World Baseball Classic, little leaguers will be out on the grass before we know it.

Nelson Little League season opener is on April 15, consequently registration is on now with the deadline being March 28. There are approximately 10 teams in total (about 120 players) of participants aged between five and 16. T-ball players are five and six-year-olds. Rookie baseball is for the seven and eight-year-olds (who are introduced to machine pitching).

The nine to 12-year-olds play on either a Minor or Major Little League team, while the 13-year-olds and over are in Senior Little League or Babe Ruth baseball. Visit nelsonbaseball.ca for a registration form and any local baseball information. Games and practices are scheduled at Lions or Queen Elizabeth baseball diamonds.
